Salary: No NASS Member Earns Jumbo Pay – Lawan - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Editor 4
May 26, 2019
Senate Presidency aspirant, Ahmed Lawan has defended the 13.5 million naira monthly salary being paid to each of the 109 senators in the country, saying that the major component of the amount was for oversight assignment allowances.
Ahmad Lawan, who has the endorsement of the Presidency and the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC to become the President of the 9th Senate, spoke to journalists in Abuja.
He maintained that there would be no reduction of the amount if he becomes the next Senate President.
The lawmaker also reflected on Friday’s Supreme Court judgment which sacked three APC senators-elect from Zamfara State, describing it as a setback.
According to him, there is nothing like jumbo pay for senators since each of them goes home with about 1 million naira a month and allowances for oversight functions, some of them outside the country.
The Yobe Senator, who remains the longest-serving lawmaker from the North in the Senate so far, also described himself as a ‘Buhari man’, who would always support all good policies and programmes initiated by the administration for the overall good of Nigerians.

Sanction: Mali Military Junta Strongly Condemns ECOWAS’S Position - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Publisher (A.M)
January 10, 2022
In a statement read on national television Monday, the military regime’s
spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga announced the recall of Bamako’s
ambassadors to the West African nations involved and the closure of air
and land borders with them.
ECOWAS and the West African Economic and Monetary Union
(UEMOA) on Sunday imposed a range of economic and diplomatic
measures against Mali, including border closures and a trade embargo,
saying the junta’s intention to remain in power for several more years
was “totally unacceptable”.
The meeting in Ghana of regional leaders followed months of increasing
tensions over the timetable for restoring civilian rule in Mali after two
coups and a military takeover.
It accused ECOWAS and UEMOA of being “exploited by extra-regional
powers with ulterior motives,” an apparent reference to Mali’s partners
engaged militarily in the Sahel such as France, which has thousands of
troops battling a jihadist insurgency.
The junta said it “deplores the inhuman nature of these measures which affect populations already severely affected by the security crisis and the
health crisis.”

Poor goalkeeping largely contributed to theinability of the Super Eagles to reach the final of the just ended Egypt 2019with Daniel Akpeyi gifting Algeria the precious passage to clash with the TerangaLions of Senegal and eventually lifting their second AFCON title.
Akpeyi’s poor arrangement of his defence wallcreated opportunity for Riyad Mahrez to score the lone goal from that last freekick of the semi final clash with Nigeria.
But Super Eagles Goalkeeper Trainer, Alloy Aguconfirmed that search for better, safer hands to complement those in camp havestarted to solidify the team ahead of the qualifiers of the tournament to behosted by Cameroon in two years’ time.
Nigeria is drawn in Group L of the 2021 Africa Cupof Nations qualifiers alongside Sierra Leone, Lesotho and Benin Republic.

August 6, 2021
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has advised advocates of
secession that breaking up Nigeria into autonomous nations is not the
solution to the ongoing agitations in some parts of the country.
He also cautioned those clamoring for civil disobedience to be cautious,
reminding them that Nigeria cannot survive another civil war.
Ganduje spoke yesterday while presenting a paper titled: “Sustaining a
united and indivisible Nigeria: A myth or reality” at the Second
Quarterly Public Lecture series of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Press Corps, in Abuja.
The governor urged the Federal Government to end the activities of the
Independent People of Biafra, IPOB, and those agitating for Oduduwa
Republic by opening dialogue with those in the vanguard of the
balkanization of the country.
According to Ganduje, no section of the country has the right under the
Constitution to seek an independent nation and cited Article 2 of the
Constitution, which states that Nigeria is one indivisible and indissoluble
sovereign state.
He however stated that the only way to legally grant such an option is
through an amendment to the law, adding that agitators would be
required to follow established guidelines while protecting the
sovereignty of the nation-state.
